Sadly I cannot provide a refererencto FuryBSD noting FuryBSD removed
xfce-screensaver due to many issues related to xfce4-screensaver.  The reas=
on I
cannot provide that URL reference, screen shot, or PDF of the web page is
FuryBSD project ended 31 October 2020 and the only web page the site presen=
ts
is notification the project has ceased.

Using xscreensaver and not xfce4-screensaver does not solve what is highly
suggestive of a xfce4-screensaver bug.

There are a number of other issues related to xfce4-screensaver I have not
opened bug reports for as I was hoping this bug would actually be addressed=

So far given how long and near no activity to address this issue that clear=
ly
others have encountered and when xfce4-screensaver is installed by pkg syst=
em
really suggests this bug should be addressed.
